| − | The word "open" in the phrase "open source" means much more than simply making the source-code available to the public. It involves describing the processes involved in collaborating on the source and in implementing and using the end product. When it comes to "open source business", the "source code" means the ''business system'' and requires a complete definition of all operations of the business and must include the ability to collaborate on that system and must allow interested parties to implement and use the same system themselves.
